Address that a Consistent Democrats spokesperson delivered on 8th November. to an event hosted by the New Communist Party to celebrate the anniversary of the Russian October Revolution of 1917.

Your Party is a fragile creation right now.  The infant party founded by Zarah Sultana when she resigned from Labour in July and effectively demanded that Jeremy Corbyn act to do what he had been hinting and threatening to do for over a year – create such a party – has both shown signs of some real development, and at the same time been rent by proto-factional divisions.
